challenge or test?

it's only 28 days.
february is a short month.
i'll get so much more done.
i'm bound to make better decisions.
maybe be on time for deadlines and appointments.
the month of february has beccome a personal challenge i've never completed or previously undertaken: An entire month of sobriety..... sounds simple enough, but understand working in a bar, going to multiple art shows and having a love of wine makes such a thing quite challenging.

3days in and attending an art show:
i run into my favorite photographer (whom i harbor a long standing crush).
i'm invited to join him and his 2 bosses (who happen to own and operate a highly successful and admired graphic design firm).
they are heading back to one of the owners homes to partake in cellared wine and discuss art, the scene and what ever else....
i HAD to decline.
i saw no way possible to say no to wine in that setting.
i almost folded.
this is a business opportunity....
aw, the wine that may be pulled....
life and this business is all about networking....
(then the conscious)
there will be other invites....
geesh, i really hope so!

after meeting my 'at least 10 new people' quota, i leave the show and head home. i stop into albersons and pick up some cookies and decide my caloric intake will come from keebler tonight.....
as i'm walking out of the grocery store, my beautiful russian friend calls to say that she is with the owner of an animation studio and his hot brittish friend. (they are going to some swanky bar and want to take us both out.....
Is this a test?
What is the passing grade?

.....instead of rubbing elbows and tasting celared vino or sipping overpriced martini's, i sit home with a mint cookie belly ache, buying music on iTunes and documenting that i have made it 3-whole-days......
oh, this should be an interresting month.....
